87,000 new IRS Agents ... but Veteran homelessness and Veteran suicide still outpace preventable death and disease ... so I vote, no -- no they don't have anything better to do than to concern themselves with something as petty as your alleged DVD fraud. Thanks, Alexander Sent from my Samsung Gal

The DVDs in question had the annoying trailers, warnings, etc as a separate vob file from the video that I wanted.   I tried deleting the vob file, but then the menu didn't work.  Vobblanker, a windows app that works under wine allowed me to remove the annoying crap and keep the menus working.

I always laugh with new format introductions by the media cartels to get people to buy the same thing all over again, now these streaming services, and still somehow get fed ads for your patronage. Or I can just download a clean, perfect version of that already in about 2 minutes of effort from pi

If I had this task, I would rip the DVD then use an editor to cut out the ads.  If I were really adventurous, I might even upscale the DVD rip to HD.  The more I work with 4K, the more I believe it has its place, but not as an everyday replacement to HD. Regards, George Toft On 11/3/2022 8:0

Um, that’s actually a copyright issue, not one involving alterations. Frankly, if you own the physical media, you can do anything with it so long as you don’t share it with others. That means up to, and including, making a physical backup or Digital copy for your machine. I believe this might fa

Altering a dvd for any reason is against federal law. It displays that on the beginning of the dvd or Blu-ray. On Thu, Nov 3, 2022, at 20:06, Jim via PLUG-discuss wrote: > I bought some DVDs recently that have those annoying trailers before > the main menu that I can't skip or fast forward to.
